Repletion is treated by draining

实则泻之 〔實則瀉之〕 shí zé xiè zhī

From Plain Questions (素问 sù wèn, sān bù jiú hóu lùn). Disease patterns that arise when evil qì is exuberant and right qì is not debilitated (e.g., external contractions, phlegm-rheum, static blood, food stagnation, and cold accumulation patterns) are treated by methods that remove the evil qì such as resolving the exterior, dispelling phlegm, quickening the blood and transforming stasis, softening hardness, draining-precipitation, and abductive stagnation.
